Chapter 1898: An Unbelievable Ending in 1997

"It’s a pity there is no evidence of death; otherwise, we could demand an explanation from the Ou Family. Daring to violate the temple law, the Life God Temple will never let them off," Gu Qingyang lamented.

"What does it matter if there’s no evidence of death?" Han Yan coldly smiled; as long as she knew who was responsible, she wouldn’t need any evidence.

Seeing the flicker of killing intent in Han Yan’s eyes, Gu Qingyang felt a slight chill. Suddenly, he realized that evidence was meaningless to the Master Priest; she didn’t need it at all.

It seems this time the Ou Family might have brought disaster upon themselves! Even a peak Tenth Rank Divine Heart Priest like Ou Pingxuan was no match for Han Yan, let alone the other members of the Ou Family.

However, he felt no pity for the Ou Family. If it weren’t for Han Yan’s astounding strength, they might have already been reduced to corpses, even to the point of having no place for burial. There was no way he could pity them.

After a brief rest to recover some strength, the group set up a Transmission Array and hurried once again towards Huayu City.

Just after Han Yan’s group left, two men rushed over.

"What happened here?" the young man asked, looking around in astonishment.

Around them, rocks were shattered, the earth was scorched black, presenting a scene of desolation and barrenness after a great battle, as if a Meteor Shower had just struck.

"Someone attacked Han Yan; it was likely a strong practitioner at the Tenth-Order Divine Heart Realm," the older man said coldly, the very owner of the Demon Dragon in the depths of the wilderness.

If it were someone else, merely relying on this ruin-like scene, it would be difficult to infer the strength of both parties involved. But he was not just anyone; the power of his Divine Sense was beyond the imagination of ordinary people, so he easily deduced Ou Pingxuan’s strength from the lingering fluctuations of spiritual power in the air.

"A Tenth Rank Divine Heart Priest, does that mean Han Yan is dead?" the young man assumed hastily.

Although even Han Yan wasn’t fully aware of her cultivation level at that moment, anyone who had witnessed her battle with Long Aoli and had some Eye Power could more or less make a guess. Her strength was indeed formidable, but it hadn’t reached the level of a Tenth Rank Divine Heart Priest, so the outcome was not difficult to predict.

Thinking that Han Yan was thus dead, the young man felt inexplicably regretful.

"No, she’s not dead yet," the older man shook his head, saying.

"What? How is that possible?" the young man exclaimed in surprise.

"It seems Han Yan’s strength is much greater than I imagined," the older man said casually.

"Stronger than Master Priest’s imagination!" the young man gasped.

"If it’s her, being so strong is not odd; in fact, compared to the person in my memory, she’s currently very weak, very weak," the older man said leisurely.

"Master Priest, is she really the person you spoke of?" the young man couldn’t help but ask.

In his mind, the Master Priest in front of him was like a god, perhaps even a terrifying being above gods. If Han Yan was truly the mortal enemy he spoke of, then how powerful must she be?

"I can’t be sure either," the older man said calmly, then glanced toward Huayu City’s direction, "Let’s go and see again; if it truly is her..."

He didn’t continue his sentence, but a glint of coldness flashed in his eyes.

...

Meanwhile, in the other courtyard in Tianyang City, Ou Dechuan paced back and forth with mild agitation and unease, his eyes occasionally glancing in the direction of Huayu City.

"Why haven’t we heard anything yet? Did Ancestor truly agree to take action? He wouldn’t have changed his mind?" Ou Mingzhi asked anxiously, rubbing his hands.

Ou Dechuan had rested a bit, but Ou Mingzhi, upon learning that Ou Pingxuan was going to deal with Han Yan, was so excited he couldn’t sleep, impatiently awaiting news of Han Yan’s demise. Yet after waiting a whole half day, no message had arrived. He hadn’t healed from his former injuries, and after being on edge for so long, his eyes were bloodshot, his face tinged with a sickly redness.

"Nonsense, such a major matter, how could Third Ancestor make a promise only to break it? Besides, it concerns the rise and fall of Lingyu Divine Hall, and more importantly, the life and death of our Ou Family. How could Third Ancestor change his mind!" Ou Dechuan glared at his son.

"Then why hasn’t there been any news? Could it be they haven’t found a chance to strike?" Ou Mingzhi guessed, lowering his head.

"With Third Ancestor’s strength, there’s no need for such opportunities; just pick a place without people," Ou Dechuan remarked dismissively.

At this point, even Ou Dechuan felt inexplicably restless. He and Ou Pingxuan had planned it well; once he succeeded, Ou Pingxuan would inform him immediately, then meet to hand over the Array Formation Technique. Since this matter couldn’t see the light of day, the Life God Temple would surely send someone to investigate afterward. To avoid suspicion, Ou Pingxuan should remain unseen as much as possible.

But as time passed, Han Yan’s group must have already entered the wilderness. Once in such a remote area, Ou Pingxuan could strike at any moment. So why hadn’t there been any news? While Ou Mingzhi’s guess wasn’t reasonable, Ou Dechuan couldn’t think of a plausible explanation either.

Could it have failed? No, impossible. With Third Ancestor’s strength, how could he fail?

As Ou Dechuan was daydreaming, a Communication Talisman on him suddenly trembled.

"There’s news!" Ou Dechuan exclaimed joyously, feeling finally at ease.

"Han Yan is dead, Han Yan is finally dead. Let her flaunt, let her be satisfied, offend our Ou Family, and it’s still a dead end, hahaha..." Ou Mingzhi rejoiced, finally laughing aloud.

But Ou Dechuan didn’t laugh. As he looked at the Communication Talisman in his hand, his face turned slightly pale.

"What’s wrong, Father?" Ou Mingzhi noticed the change in Ou Dechuan’s expression, asking.

Ou Dechuan didn’t answer, instead handing the Communication Talisman to him.

Ou Mingzhi looked closely and noticed the talisman had no words. Instead, it had a dense web of cracks. With a light ’pop,’ the talisman shattered in front of them, leaving Ou Mingzhi’s face instantly pale.

Normally, the Communication Talisman would break once it transmitted a message. But if it shattered without transmitting anything, there were only two possibilities: One, the other party destroyed it themselves. Two, the other party had died.

This Communication Talisman was for Ou Pingxuan’s communication with his family, so of course he wouldn’t destroy it. The first reason was discarded, leaving only the second reason. But how was this possible? With Han Yan’s strength, how could she kill Ou Pingxuan?
